+1 for MLton. The lead maintainer was my compilers professor in university and he's a dedicated man who _loves_ what he does. It shows in his work and using MLton was a very nice experience, especially compared to SML/NJ (which isn't bad, just a bit more difficult and the straight forward compilation of MLton).

Issues like this and a few older ones give me a pause. https://github.com/MLton/mlton/issues/473

Is there sufficient use of MLTon amd64 backend out there to consider it mature? or Do people prefer the LLVM or C backend instead in general?
